Millbrook’s season comes to a sparkling end with fast paced dark comedy The Roommate and 60th anniversary Diamond Jubilee
MILL HALL, PA – The Board of Directors and Artistic Director Shannon Agnew are proud to announce the final shows of the Millbrook Playhouse’s 60th season. The Roommate, by Jen Silverman, is the PG-13 dark comedy perfect for adults. Sharon brings a roommate, Robyn, into her home and the wheels start to fall off their lives as they discover secrets about each other. This show will leave you gripping the edge of your seat at every turn.
Agnew describes the show as “…part The Odd Couple, and part Breaking Bad. This more adult, fast paced, gripping show is a classic story of oil and water characters that bring out the wild side of each other. It’s brilliantly done, and I am excited for our audiences to experience this edgier story.” The Roommate runs in the Poorman Cabaret from Friday, July 28 – August 6. Tickets are available at www.millbrookplayhouse.org or by calling 570-748-8083.
Millbrook also opens its three-night concert celebrating 60 years. Join the Playhouse resident company this weekend for the Diamond Jubilee: Millbrook’s 60th Anniversary concert. Agnew said “…this is a celebratory night sixty years in the making. There are some absolutely incredible performances. Our resident company will be performing all of your favorite songs from seasons past with never before seen footage and media from past productions, and special messages from some of your favorite performers.” The concert features a walk-through Millbrook’s sixty year history, clips of past productions, photos, and performances of 23 of the most beloved songs from seasons past including Be Our Guest (Beauty and the Beast), All That Jazz (Chicago), Climb Every Mountain (The Sound Of Music), We Go Together (Grease), Dancing Queen (Mamma Mia), and many more.
The Roommate is brilliantly directed by Millbrook alum Biliana Stoytcheva-Horissian, and features Millbrook favorites Amy Bates, who directed the season musical tour-de-farce Double Trouble, and returning Millbrook favorite Alice Bahlke seen last season in Boeing Boeing (Gretchen).
